This report presents national estimates of the use of family planning services and related medical services among women aged 15-44 in the United States in 2006-2010. Selected indicators are compared with similar measures for 2002 and 1995 to examine changes over time. Data for this report come primarily from the 2006-2010 National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG), which included 12,279 interviews with women aged 15-44. The response rate for women in the 2006-2010 NSFG was 78 percent. In 2006-2010, 43 million women aged 15-44 received a family planning or related medical service in the previous 12 months. A Pap test and a pelvic exam were them ost common services recieved by women in the previous year, followed by receipt of a method of birth control. About 18 percent of women received a family planning or related medical service from a clinic int the past 12 months and one-half of thses women received it froma Title X-funded clinic. In the past 12 months from a private doctor. Use of Title X-funded clinics was more common among women in cohabiting unions, black and Hispanic women, those who lived in nonmetropolitan areas, those below thepoverty lvevel and those without health insurance.

This report presents national estimates of different fertility measures for both men and women in the United States for the period 2006-2010. Fertility refers to the number of live births that occur to an individual. In 2008, there were 4.2 million births in the United States. The average fertility of women in the United States was about seven children at the beginning of the 19th century, it declined slowly and by 1960 it was 3.7 children per woman. Fertility in the United States dropped to its lowest point in 1976 at an average of 1.7 children per woman and has remained relatively stable at around 2.1 children per woman. While fertility in the United States has remained stable since the 1970s, there is variation by subgroups including age, race, ethnicity, education, and measures of socioeconomic status. Researchers have often examined the intermediate characteristics that help to explain fertility such as fecundity (the ability to have children), timing of sexual intercourse, time spent in sexual relationships, and use of contraception. Others have looked at timing of fertility, the composition of those who have children, the number of children born, the union status at childbirth, etc.

This report presents data on the prevalence of oral sex with opposite-sex partners and the timing of first oral sex relative to first vaginal intercourse among females and males aged 15-24 based on the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) data from 2007-2010. The question on timing, added to the NSFG in 2007, asked females and males whether first oral sex occurred before, after, or on the same occasion as their first vaginal intercourse. MethodsDescriptive tables of numbers and percentages are presented and discussed. The current report is based on a nationally representative subsample of 6,346 interviews conducted from July 2007 to June 2010-3,242 with women and 3,104 with men aged 15-24 years. The measures presented in this report were collected using audio computer-assisted self-interviewing, in which the respondent enters his or her own answers into the computer without telling them to an interviewer. The overall response rate for the 2006-2010 NSFG was 77%, 78% for women aged 15-44 years, and 75% for men aged 15-44 years.

As the five-year anniversary of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita approaches, thousands of Louisiana residents remain displaced from their homes and continue to struggle to recover in the disaster aftermath. The purpose of this report is to summarize some of the lessons learned by the state of Louisiana as it implemented the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Disaster Case Management Pilot (DCMP) from fall 2009 to spring 2010. The DCMP specifically targeted the post-hurricane population who were still in FEMA temporary housing units as of April 27, 2009, in order to connect these individuals with a range of services, including housing, financial counseling, social services benefit restoration, and mental and physical health assistance. This report also offers recommendations for the state of Louisiana and FEMA regarding how to better design and improve implementation of disaster case management in Louisiana and across the nation. In the wake of new disasters, such as the 2010 British Petroleum oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, other state authorities that are responsible for disaster case management might also be interested in using this document to help inform how states manage and conduct disaster case management for future catastrophic events.

This report provides an overview of marital and cohabiting relationships in the United States among men and women aged 15-44 in 2002, by a variety of characteristics. National estimates are provided that highlight formal and informal marital status, previous experience with marriage and cohabitation, the sequencing of marriage and cohabitation, and the stability of cohabitations and marriages.

In this report, we use a broadened definition of at-risk populations that considers both the HHS working definition for at-risk individuals and that used by the CDC within the context of CERC (Reynolds, 2007). HHS defines the needs of at-risk individuals on the basis of five functional areas (shown below in italics). Before, during, and after an incident, members of at-risk populations may have additional needs in one or more of the following functional areas: Maintaining Independence--Individuals in need of support that enables them to be independent in daily activities. Communication--Individuals who have limitations that interfere with the receipt of and response to information. Transportation--Individuals who cannot drive due to the presence of a disability or who do not have a vehicle. Supervision--Individuals who require the support of caregivers, family, or friends or have limited ability to cope in a new environment. Medical Care--Individuals who are not self-sufficient or do not have or have lost adequate support from caregivers and need assistance with managing medical conditions. In addition to those individuals specifically recognized as at-risk in the PAHPA (i.e., children, senior citizens, and pregnant women) individuals who may need additional response assistance should include those who have disabilities; live in institutionalized settings; are from diverse cultures; have limited English proficiency or are non-English speaking; are transportation disadvantaged; have chronic medical disorders; and have pharmacological dependency.

A simple analysis has been made of the parasitic space charge limited current flow in a GaAs substrate or buffer. The computed output conductance is in agreement with experimental values of 600 to 1000 ohms obtained on low noise FET's with 300 micron gate width fabricated on GaAs buffer layers with low trap density. The parasitic current flows in the semi-insulating substrate or buffer layer, around the thin high field Gunn domain that is present in the active layer of the FET. Including the effects of changing domain length with drain bias, the parasitic current is found to rise as the square root of the drain voltage and as the 4th root of the active channel doping.
